About Lean brisket

Lean brisket is a flavorful, tender cut of beef known for its rich culinary heritage, often featured in Texan barbecue, Jewish deli dishes, and traditional Irish recipes. Unlike regular brisket, lean brisket is trimmed of excess fat, making it a healthier option for those seeking a lower-fat source of protein. Packed with essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins, lean brisket supports energy production and overall muscle health. However, its sodium content can vary based on how it's prepared, particularly in cured or smoked variations, so it's important to monitor portion sizes and preparation methods. When cooked with minimal added fats and paired with nutrient-rich sides like vegetables or whole grains, lean brisket can be a satisfying, well-balanced addition to your meal. It’s a versatile, time-honored ingredient that fits a variety of cuisines and dietary preferences.
